Greetings Oo_1oz,


Taking a look at How to connect your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to your car, you'll want to reset your phone's Bluetooth connection with your car. This will most likely require you to forget your car from Setting > Bluetooth on your iPhone, as well as removing your iPhone from your car's infotainment system.


"Connect using Bluetooth


  1. Restart your device.
  2. Go to Settings > Bluetooth, and turn off Bluetooth. Wait for about 5 seconds, then turn Bluetooth back on.
  3. Check the manual that came with your car for more information on how to pair with a Bluetooth device. Most cars require a phone setup on the car display. 
  4. If you've connected multiple phones to your car stereo, try renaming your device: Go to Settings > General > About > Name, and type a new name. Then try connecting again.
  5. Update your device.
  6. Make sure that your stereo is using the latest firmware from the car manufacturer. Check your car's manual for more information."


Should you continue to have issues, you may want to consider reaching out to the car manufacturer for help updating and setting up the infotainment system.


Best wishes.
